Healthcare context
Challenge
Medical facilities and diagnostic laboratories faced issues with fragmented IT systems. Laboratory test results were often entered manually into hospital systems, leading to delays, errors, and increased workload for staff. A solution was needed to integrate LIS (Laboratory Information System) and HIS (Hospital Information System) to streamline data flow and enhance patient care standards.
Delivery response
Solution
MPED Sp. z o.o. developed and implemented a solution integrating LIS and HIS systems, enabling automatic data exchange between laboratories and medical facilities. The integration was tailored to the specifics of various software providers and medical standards.
From order to result
System functionality
The integration covered automated orders and results, notifications, data security and communication between healthcare facilities.
- Automatic transmission of laboratory test results to patient records in the HIS system
- Elimination of manual data entry for test results
- Bidirectional communication between laboratories and medical facilities
- Real-time notifications about result availability
- Compliance with medical data security standards (RODO, GDPR)
- Encryption of transmitted medical information
- Handling of test orders directly from the HIS system
Platform detail
Technology stack
The solution used HL7 interfaces and APIs, .NET components and SQL Server, with secure transmission of medical information.
Patient-service impact
Results
- 70% reduction in laboratory test result transmission time
- 90% decrease in data entry errors
- Reduced workload for medical and administrative staff
- Improved communication between laboratories and medical facilities
- Enhanced patient care through faster access to test results
Summary
Secure, automated data flow between laboratories and healthcare facilities
The LIS and HIS system integration implemented by MPED Sp. z o.o. has become a key component of patient service digitalization in many medical facilities. Automating data flow has improved staff efficiency and enhanced the quality of medical services while ensuring the highest standards of information security.
